The ‘holy grail’ of heart health: a valve that grows inside you
Even the surgeon behind Britain’s first heart-lung transplant thinks this will eclipse his other achievements: artificial scaffolding that means no one will need repeat surgery

Why do some techs never develop work related repetitive injuries despite high volume and very little ergonomic safety precautions? My theory is a negative ape index. Unlike Michael Phelps, some people have a short wingspan. Those T-Rex arms are born to scan! #echosky #cardiosky

In fact, E/e' is a confounded measure; Epeak is a function of peak AV pressure gradient, not mean LA pressure, e' is a function of early LV compliance, which are related to relaxation and IVRT.
LV filling pressure: advices to keep it simple. Look at mitral flow (decT) and particularly lungs (LUS/CXR/high oxygen requirements). Points out that E/E’ is not validated in critical care, and does not track changes in pressure. #echofirst #EuroEcho #FOAMcc

EchoPro Tip #3: Practicing echocardiograms on dogs can really help to prepare you to be a pediatric sonographer. Learning to adapt to wiggly movements, building trust and understanding the unique anatomy of smaller hearts in animals translates beautifully to pediatric care. #echofirst #cardiosky

Did you ever manage a patient where you were convinced that there was a patent foramen ovale (eg in a case of cryptogenic shock or unexplained hypoxemia) but the bubble study did not reveal a R-to-L shunt?

EchoPro Tip #2: I call it the Arterial Positional Pulse Test: Palpate the radial pulse with the left arm at the patient’s side, then raise it overhead. In cases of severe AI, the pulse will disappear—a clinical clue when echo windows are impossible to get! #echofirst #cardiosky #medsky

If the LV of the patient with sepsis is «hyperdynamic» when on noradrenaline, then EF dropps and the LV looks poorly when vasopressin is added, but recovers to normal with dobutamine, you likely haven’t «uncovered hidden LV dysfunction» or septic cardiomyopathy. #emimcc #pocus #echofirst 1/

EchoPro Tip #1: A SHMOO-shaped septal LV screams coronary artery disease until proven otherwise, like in this obese smoker. I've seen so many SHMOO's end up having LAD or RCA blockages diagnosed after echo that I hope to one day see a "SHMOO-shaped" research article! #echofirst #medsky #cardiosky
